Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #174

Today's offering is for Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #174 - A  Sketch by Cindy H  and this is the sketch.

They always manage to come up with great sketches and this one is no exception.  It really makes our job a bit of a doddle!

This is my take.

First, I took my Simon Says Stamp 'Vent' die and ran it through twice on the diagonal.  Then I cut some flowers and leaves out of coloured cardstock and some vellum.  I sponged the edges of the petals and leaves to give it a little dimension.

Next, I blended some different shades of distress inks on to a strip of cardstock and mounted that behind the cut-outs for some colour and also to strengthen the top layer, where the vent die had weakend it.

I assembled everything together, stamped the sentiment and mounted the whole panel to a white base card using some fun foam for even more stability.  I finished off with a touch of my Wink Of Stella on the flower petals.

Supplies used:

Dies:  SSS, 'Vent', 'Leaf Cluster' and Lil' Inker, Flower
Sentiment:  Imagine That, 'Hello Sunshine'

As always, I appreciate you taking the time to visit today and for any comments.  I will reciprocate where possible!  have a lovely day/evening.  Hazel xx
